Hunt only member to vote against LA moves, St. Louis market opens for Chiefs

Chiefs will market in St. Louis

Two weeks ago, Missouri had two NFL teams. It now has one. And the one still left hopes to draw fans from the other side of the state.

But the Kansas City Chiefs will tread lightly in St. Louis, out of respect for a fan base still recovering from the relocation of the Rams.

“I’ve gotten texts and emails from fans saying I’m now a Chiefs fan, and we appreciate all that,” team president Mark Donovan said, via Terez A. Paylor of the Kansas City Star. “But we’re going to take a strategic approach to that — we’re going to be respectful. They’ve been through a really tough process. We’re going to continue to do what we do, and we think with the success we’re having on the field and the success we’re having off the field, it creates a great opportunity for us.”

The Colts also have welcomed Rams fans to Indianapolis, and the Chiefs hope that their games will be televised more frequently in the now-vacant market.

“We’re in conversations right now with the league on how the league’s going to look at that, and we’ll make our case there,” Donovan said.

Coincidentally (or not), Chiefs owner Clark Hunt was the only member of the Committee on L.A. Opportunities to vote against allowing the Chargers and Raiders sharing space in Carson. Which opened the door for letting the Rams leaves St. Louis for Los Angeles.

I don't think it really matters to the city of San Diego, as they've repeatedly voted down any tax increases in order to build a stadium.

They have the Padres and about 45 minutes northeast, the California Angels. About 90 minutes north, the Los Angeles Rams, Dodgers, Lakers and Clippers.

Somehow, I don't think the citizens of San Diego are losing sleep over the Chargers leaving, especially since every time I went to that stadium, it was half filled with Chiefs fans.

Ha ha, LaCanfora puts Mark Davis and the Raiders in their place.

Somebody wake me up when Mark Davis moves his team to a cornfield in Iowa or whatever. All this yapping about moving the Raiders is comical. He doesn't control the process, he may be the least powerful owner in the league and no way the NFL lets him go to San Diego to undermine their new project in Inglewood. Take that one year lease in Oakland and get working diligently on getting a new stadium there -- the void with how far out in the boonies the 49ers built creates a nice opening for him, actually -- or sell to someone who will.

I expect that anal sex celebrations in Pile High birthed a few more bronco fans in STL
